It's been 6 weeks today since my chin/neck liposuction. I had my follow up visit last Thursday with my surgeon. I could tell he felt bad that I am still jowl-y and he said they may improve but he did not look or sound hopeful about it. He said to wait 4 more months and come back for some Juvederm injections to fill in the area. At this point, I am not sure if I will do that. I've attached the 6 week pic.

I took my weekly picture today and there was a bit of improvement in the lumpiness so that made me feel better. I have no traces of the yellow bruising left, though my jawline is still a bit tender if I touch it. I'm still wearing my strap overnight for one more week.

Hi! So things have started looking better the past week. The lumps are smoothing out significantly. I am still swollen but much less and I am getting smoother. Still some tightening needs happen in order for me to be pleased but since I can feel that I am still a little swollen yet, I am optimistic that as the swelling goes down the area will continue to look better and better. I was pretty down last week and now this week things are definitely turning around. My husband even commented on the improvement;, so hang in there! I'll update y'all again next week !

Hi Marytheres! I've been thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. I'm so happy to hear things are improving for you-awesome! This recovery has more emotional ups and downs than I thought it would. I have also been feeling better this week :) I'll do my update in a few days. talk to you soon!

It looks good... Do you have any recent pics??? I want to do mine as well when I go in for a BBL. But I'm worried about my cheeks. They are chubby right now... I'm hoping they slim out before the surgery. I don't want to suck fat out of my face.

tomorrow will be 2 weeks post op and honestly today I am feeling a bit down about the whole thing. The swelling has gone down a lot. Last Thurs I had my stitches removed. The Dr said everything looked great. I actually think I looked better last week than I do today. My face looks so uneven. I am a little worried because the swelling has gone down so much, I just wonder if I will be permanently uneven and jowly. I read somewhere on here that the best time to view your results is 1 day post op or 6 weeks post op. I hope that is right because I was very happy with my day 1 post op picture. Todays picture, not so much.

I just got it done too and posted a bunch of pics on my page, will you post an updated one? How do you like it? My chin/neck is still flabby but I think it will tighten up as I heal. Did you take Arnica?
September 14, 2014
hi Morgain :)
thanks for your comments, I will check out your page for sure. To answer your question, yes, I did take Arnica. I really did not have much bruising at all, a bit of yellow down toward the bottom of my neck and just below one side of my jawline. Nothing especially noticeable though. I was really happy about that! The first week post op I was very excited about the results, however for the past week I have been a little depressed. Everything is very uneven and asymmetrical right now. I had asked a question of the Dr's on here and 2/3 seem to think that I will remain uneven. It looks like my jowls are returning as the swelling is leaving. It makes me so sad but I am still hopeful that maybe it will tighten up in time. I will be posting my weekly review this week with a new picture. I hope improvement will be noticeable!

I'm having the same exact issue! I am now a month out. Will be following you to see how you heal.

I'm taping up my neck and wearing a big scarf like my mother did when she went to the grocery store in the 70's.
September 16, 2014
it's a bit comforting to know I'm not alone but I hope we both smooth out by the time we're all healed. I'll be posting my 3 week review and pic soon, probably tomorrow. Keep me posted with how you're doing, too.

I hope so, too. I really trust the doctor that did my surgery so I am hoping I can trust that I will like the results and that he did a good job. He did stress that I will not see results until the month 3. But it's just hard waiting so long for some real results. My doc also warned me of the lumps - he told me specifically I will have lumps on the left side and I do. My left side is still a bit swollen and lumpy, my right side is completely fine. Anyway, keep us posted of your healing.

I know what you mean, I really trust my Dr too and when I went for my first follow up (before I was this lumpy) I asked him if he thought the jowl area would tighten up and he looked me right in the eye and said "definitely". We shall see. I wish I would stop obsessing about it as much as I am. Waiting for results is harder than I thought it would be.
